Antártida

Descubra otro mundo más allá del suyo

Antártida es una colección de extremos – en promedio es el continente más ventoso, seco, frio, y elevado del mundo. Aproximadamente solo precipita  unos 200 mm anuales en la zona costera, con las zonas interiores incluso más secas. A pesar de la dura naturaleza del continente, los cruceristas a la Antártida son favorecidos con un paisaje espectacular. Es una tierra de accidentados picos montañosos que contrastan con el blanco de la nieve y el paso de brillantes témpanos flotando en las oscuras aguas del mar.

Tome un viaje en Zodiac entre azules y blancos témpanos que se elevan sobre el agua como picos montañosos, reme en kayak al lado de curiosas ballenas, de sus respetos a los curiosos pingüinos, bucee dentro de un mundo nuevo debajo del hielo, acampe bajo el cielo polar, o escale hacia un elevado mirador para tener vistas espectaculares.

por Barclay Lezon

Plancius - [ ] No tv except for web camera on the ships deck - [ ] WIFI needs improvement; it doesn't work in cabins - [ ] I paid $260 € for Internet access. It is a little frustrating that I paid $1500 more than passengers who bought a ticket days before we left the dock and they got the same type of room as me. That $1500 should have been used to buy internet time or refunded. - [ ] The lounge benches need to be reupholstered. They are covered in pleather. Whereas real leather would last longer and look good. - [ ] The activities were great. It was a once in a lifetime experience. The zodiac drivers knew just where to look for wildlife. - [ ] The food was excellent. Jerrica had a smile on her face constantly. She knew everyone by name. That is a talent! - [ ] The cabin steward was awesome. - [ ] I learned something new from every lecture. The staff who gave the talks were confident and competent. - [ ] I did not like passengers and staff smoking while we were loading the zodiacs; that should be a no smoking area. - [ ] I was happy you sold waterproof pants. - [ ] The barbecue was a pleasant surprise. - [ ] Overall the staff, accommodations, attention to detail, was beyond

Thank you to Oceanwide and especially to the ENTIRE crew of the Plancius for the perfect care during the Antarctic cruise we took part in. From the first welcome on the ship to the kind care of the staff, daily exclusive food, interesting and funny lectures and the entire program on the Zodiac cruise and during walks on the coast organized by the best guides, it was an unforgettable and lifetime experience for us! We also of course thank the ship's crew for the professional management of the ship and the safe return. Long will this cruise remain in our minds and hearts!!

It has been a wonderful experience on Plancius for Around Svalbard Expedition & also on Ortelius for Antarctica Deep South Polar Circle Expedition with Oceanwide. The expeditions are arranged very professionally by friendly & knowledgeable expedition staff. Hotel staff also very friendly. Great lectures & new knowledge provided by the expedition staff. Happy to see environmental conscious people handling these expeditions.

With the kayaking.... it is extremely important to have one leader at the front and one 'sweeping' at the back. This didn't happen at all. But both leaders were excellent, friendly, helpful and wonderful. Leer reseña completa

From the first briefing when we were told that plan B was already in operation due to severe weather around the Falklands and S Georgia, taking a passenger to King George Island to be medevacked off the ship, then doing the whole trip in reverse, it was brilliant. The expedition crew certainly new their stuff, their English was excellent ( with one exception) and they certainly got us to every landing and zodiac cruise possible. Even backtracking around South Georgia and a full circumnavigation just to get us to all possible landings was fantastic. Another example - out last day in the Falklands and we were visiting New Island. The plan was North Beach in the morning and South Beach in the afternoon. As we approached North Beach the wind was far too strong for a landing so we didn't stop, and headed straight to South Beach. A great landing had by all and then as we had lunch we went back to North Beach - the wind was reasonable so we could land and had a great last afternoon before sailing back to The cabin stewards were thorough in their work and very friendly. All the crew on the boat were first class, especially getting us on and off the zodiacs. Food fab!

Preguntas frecuentes

Antártida es el 5to en tamaño de los siete continentes. El continente tiene dos grandes entradas en la línea costera que son el Mar de Ross y el Mar de Weddell. El continente más cercano es América del Sur. La superficie total del continente es de 14.2 millones de km2 (aproximadamente 5.5 millones de millas cuadradas) en verano.

La zona/ huso horario en Antártida es la misma que en Nueva Zelanda: GMT +12 horas. En viajes regulares a Antártida operamos en la misma zona horaria que Ushuaia, Argentina: GMT -3horas.

No, la ubicación remota, el paisaje congelado y la meteorología impredecible pueden hacer que las operaciones turísticas sean difíciles, pero Oceanwide Expeditions tiene la experiencia, conocimientos y competencia necesaria para operar con seguridad en Antártida.

La Antártida es el continente más frío y también más ventoso en el mundo. La temperatura más baja en la Tierra se registró en la Antártida. Hay tres regiones climáticas en la Antártida:

El interior del continente: Esta es el área extremadamente fría de la Antártida. Las áreas costeras: Estas áreas tienen temperaturas más moderadas y más precipitaciones. La Península Antártica: Esta es la región que tiene un clima más cálido y húmedo; las temperaturas sobre cero son comunes en los meses de verano.

Durante la temporada de verano la temperatura en la Península Antártica varía en un rango entre -2° C y 5° C. En el Mar de Ross puede llegar a ser significativamente más frío, con temperaturas que bajan hasta los -20° C.

Yes, but only if the expedition leader considers local conditions safe. In that event, we may offer this swimming activity from shore under the supervision of our guides. For safety reasons, we do not do the polar from our vessels or Zodiac boats.

We follow the protocol advised by IAATO. Before leaving for your voyage, please make sure anything you bring that may come into contact with the environment (clothes, equipment, etc.) is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. We ask that you do not sit, kneel, or lay down during our landings. Please also do not place anything on the ground. You will receive a document with further information after booking.

Acerca de la

Clima Antártico

Antártida es una colección de extremos – en promedio es el continente más ventoso, seco, frio, y elevado del mundo. Aproximadamente solo precipita  unos 200 mm anuales en la zona costera, con las zonas interiores incluso más secas. Nuestros cruceros antárticos lo llevan al sitio más frío del mundo, pero a lo largo de la costa (donde se encontraran en uno de nuestros cruceros antárticos) las temperaturas pueden alcanzar los 10°C durante un caluroso día de verano. Son de esperar temperaturas apenas sobre 0° en un día normal.

¿No sabe que vestimenta traer? No se preocupe, les daremos toda la información que necesita para que esté cómodo durante su viaje a Antártida.

Hechos Antárticos

  • Antártida es más grande que Europa
  • Dado que las precipitaciones en Antártida son mínimas, técnicamente se lo considera un desierto.
  • El nombre “Antártida” proviene de la frase griega que significa “opuesto al norte”.
  • Aproximadamente el 62% del agua dulce congelada del mundo se encuentra en Antártida. Si todo el hielo del mundo se derritiera el nivel de los océanos subiría 60 metros.
  • La temperatura más baja fue registrada en la estación Vostok el 21 de Julio de 1983. El termómetro marcó -89.2°C. Eso es suficiente frío para romper el acero.
  • A pesar del frío, la congregación de seres vivos más grande fue vista en Antártida, un cardumen de 10.000.000 de krill.
  • El primer avistaje del continente confirmado y registrado fue en 1820. Pasarían casi 100 años, hasta 1911, para que el ser humano pusiera un pie en el polo sur.

Viajar a la Antártida 

Un crucero antártico es la oportunidad para visitar un lugar en el mundo que ha permanecido prácticamente inalterado desde la época que Aristóteles expuso por primera vez la idea de Terra Australis. Los expedicionarios tiene la oportunidad de explorar uno de los lugares del mundo con las más densas concentraciones de vida animal, focas, ballenas, y cientos de pingüinos. Nuestros cruceros antárticos le ofrecen  una experiencia distinta de cualquiera que haya tenido. Puede investigar la amplia oferta de cruceros antárticos en la dedicada Página de cruceros Antárticos.
